Custodial History

1G Subject files is an artificial collection. Artificial collections are created by Archivists bringing together multiple smaller acquisitions to the archives from multiple creators, and organizing them based on their subject. This is unlike most archival collections which are organized by provenance, meaning by the original creator, and which often maintain the original creator’s arrangement of the collection.

Provenance

Materials added to this collection come from multiple sources, including internal transfers and donations. Some materials have been found in the archives, and their source is unknown.
